Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of range hood technology, and in particular to a control panel assembly and a range hood. Background Technology

[0002] A range hood is an appliance used to remove cooking fumes from the kitchen. It is usually located above the stove. When the user is cooking, the range hood is turned on, and the exhaust fan creates negative pressure at the air intake. This causes the cooking fumes to enter the air collection chamber of the range hood through the air intake and then be exhausted by the range hood, preventing the user from inhaling large amounts of fumes while cooking.

[0003] The cooktop-hood linkage function is achieved through signal transmission via a wireless communication module. In existing cooktops with this function, the wireless communication module is integrated into the control switch box. If the cooktop and cooktop are incompatible, the wireless communication module becomes unused. Furthermore, if a user purchased their cooktop earlier without cooktop-hood linkage, they will have to buy a new cooktop if they later wish to purchase one with this feature, resulting in wasted resources. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this utility model proposes a control panel assembly for a range hood, in which a wireless communication module is detachably connected. When the user's cooktop and range hood are incompatible, the user can choose not to purchase the wireless communication module. When the user needs to add a cooktop-range hood linkage function, there is no need to replace the range hood with a new one; only the wireless communication module needs to be installed. This avoids waste and saves the user's purchase cost. It solves the technical problem in the prior art where the wireless communication module becomes an idle functional module if the user's cooktop and range hood are incompatible, and where the user has to purchase a new range hood if they later want to buy one with cooktop-range hood linkage, resulting in wasted costs.

[0005] This utility model also aims to provide a range hood having the above-mentioned control panel components.

[0006] The control panel assembly of the range hood according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a control panel; a control switch and a wireless communication module, both of which are located on the rear side of the control panel.

The connecting plate passes through the first clearance opening and is limited to the main body by the locking member. When the control panel is connected to the main body, the pressing part is configured to apply a force toward the main body to the control panel from the front side of the control panel.

[0015] In some embodiments, the main body is provided with a second clearance opening, and the connecting plate is provided with a limiting opening. The connecting plate passes through the first clearance opening and the second clearance opening in sequence, so that at least part of the limiting opening passes through the second clearance opening. The locking member is provided in the limiting opening that passes through the second clearance opening, and the locking member is used to restrict the connecting plate from moving out of the second clearance opening.

[0060] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0061] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0062] The control panel assembly 1000 of the range hood 2000 of this utility model is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0063] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the control panel assembly 1000 of the range hood 2000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a control panel 100, a control switch 500, and a wireless communication module 600.

[0064] Among them, combined Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, both the control switch 500 and the wireless communication module 600 are located on the rear side of the control panel 100. The control switch 500 is electrically connected to the wireless communication module 600, which is detachably connected to the control panel 100. This allows for detachable connection between the wireless communication module 600 and the control panel 100. When a user purchases a range hood 2000 and their cooktop is incompatible, the user can choose not to purchase the wireless communication module 600, providing multiple options and saving on purchase costs. Furthermore, if a user purchased a range hood earlier without cooktop-range hood synchronization, they can later purchase a range hood with cooktop-range hood synchronization without needing to replace the entire range hood; they only need to install the wireless communication module 600, avoiding waste.

[0065] Meanwhile, by detachably connecting the wireless communication module 600 to the control panel 100, the wireless communication module 600 can be modularized, making it convenient for manufacturers to mass-produce the wireless communication module 600.

[0066] In addition, the wireless communication module 600 is electrically connected to the control switch 500, which supplies power to the wireless communication module 600 and connects the wireless communication module 600 to the main control circuit of the smoke hood 2000.

[0067] As can be seen from the above structure, the control panel assembly 1000 of the range hood 2000 in this embodiment of the present invention can detachably connect the wireless communication module 600 to the control panel 100. When the range hood 2000 does not have the range hood and stove linkage function, the user can choose not to purchase the wireless communication module 600, and the range hood 2000 will not have the wireless communication module 600. When the range hood 2000 has the range hood and stove linkage function, the wireless communication module 600 can be installed. At the same time, the wireless communication module 600 can also be modularized, which is convenient for manufacturers to mass-produce the wireless communication module 600.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, the control panel 100 is located on the main body 1100 of the range hood 2000. This allows for easy control of the range hood 2000's operation using the control panel 100, ensuring the range hood 2000's performance.

[0069] In some embodiments, the wireless communication module 600 can be understood as a Wi-Fi module or a Bluetooth module.

[0070] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the control switch 500 has a switch box 510, which has at least one connecting part 511. The wireless communication module 600 is detachably connected to the connecting part 511. This allows for a detachable connection between the wireless communication module 600 and the switch box 510. On one hand, this allows the wireless communication module 600 to be detachably connected to the control panel 100, reducing the difficulty of connecting the wireless communication module 600 and the control panel 100. On the other hand, it also allows the wireless communication module 600 to be positioned close to the control switch 500, facilitating the electrical connection between the control switch 500 and the wireless communication module 600.

[0071] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting part 511 is provided with a connecting port 5111, and the wireless communication module 600 is provided with a connecting buckle 610, which is detachably connected to the connecting port 5111. This allows the wireless communication module 600 to be detachably connected to the connecting part 511, thereby enabling a detachable connection between the wireless communication module 600 and the connecting part 511 and reducing the difficulty of connecting the wireless communication module 600 and the control panel 100.

[0072] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting part 511 has a mounting cavity 5112, and a first positioning post 5113 is provided in the mounting cavity 5112. The first positioning post 5113 has a positioning hole 5114, which penetrates the first positioning post 5113. A second positioning post 120 on the control panel 100 extends into the positioning hole 5114 on the first positioning post 5113. Fasteners pass through the positioning hole 5114 and connect to the second positioning post 120, so that the switch box 510 is connected to the control panel 100 through the connecting part 511. This achieves a fixed connection of the switch box 510 to the control panel 100, reducing the difficulty of connecting the switch box 510 and the control panel 100.

[0073] It should be noted that the fasteners mentioned here can be understood as fastening bolts or fastening screws, etc.

[0074] In summary, the connecting part 511 on the switch box 510 can not only fix the switch box 510 to the control panel 100, but also fix the wireless communication module 600 to the switch box 510. One connecting part 511 has two functions, which helps to simplify the structure of the control panel assembly 1000.

[0075] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a fixing plate 700 is glued to the rear side of the control panel 100, and a second positioning post 120 is disposed on the fixing plate 700 to reduce the difficulty of fixing the second positioning post 120 relative to the control panel 100, thereby facilitating the fixed connection between the switch box 510 and the control panel 100 by using the second positioning post 120, and reducing the difficulty of fixing the switch box 510 and the control panel 100.

[0076] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the switch box 510 has two connecting parts 511, and the wireless communication module 600 is detachably connected to one of the connecting parts 511. The cooperation of the two connecting parts 511 helps to increase the connection strength between the switch box 510 and the control panel 100, thereby improving the positional stability of the switch box 510. While ensuring the working performance of the switch box 510, it also facilitates the use of the switch box 510 to support the wireless communication module 600, thereby improving the positional stability of the wireless communication module 600.

[0077] Meanwhile, by providing two connecting parts 511, the wireless communication module 600 can be installed on either side of the switch box 510, improving the installation flexibility of the wireless communication module 600.

[0078] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the wireless communication module 600 has two connecting clips 610. The two connecting clips 610 pass through the mounting cavity 5112 and engage with the connection port 5111. When the connecting clips 610 and the connection port 5111 are connected, the first positioning post 5113 is located between the two connecting clips 610. By configuring the wireless communication module 600 with two connecting clips 610, the two connecting clips 610 can be used to detachably connect the wireless communication module 600 to the connection part 511, which helps to increase the connection strength between the wireless communication module 600 and the connection part 511 and improves the positional stability of the wireless communication module 600.

[0079] Meanwhile, by setting the first positioning post 5113 between the two connecting clips 610, interference between the first positioning post 5113 and the two connecting clips 610 can be avoided. This allows the two connecting clips 610 to pass through the mounting cavity 5112 and engage with the connection port 5111 when the second positioning post 120 on the control panel 100 extends into the positioning hole 5114 on the first positioning post 5113. This ensures that the connecting part 511 on the switch box 510 can not only fix the switch box 510 to the control panel 100, but also enable the wireless communication module 600 to cooperate with the switch box 510, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the switch box 510 and the control panel 100, as well as between the wireless communication module 600 and the switch box 510.

[0080] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, a reinforcing rib 5115 is provided between the first positioning post 5113 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 5112. The connecting buckle 610 passes through the mounting cavity 5112 and snaps into the connecting port 5111. In the front-back direction, the connecting buckle 610 is located between the reinforcing rib 5115 and the rear side wall of the control panel 100. In the vertical direction, the connecting buckle 610 is located between the first positioning post 5113 and the wall of the mounting cavity 5112. This arrangement utilizes the cooperation of the reinforcing rib 5115, the rear side wall of the control panel 100, the first positioning post 5113, and the wall of the mounting cavity 5112 to limit the position of the connecting buckle 610, improving the positional stability of the connecting buckle 610 and, to a certain extent, ensuring the connection quality between the wireless communication module 600 and the connecting part 511.

[0081] By providing reinforcing ribs 5115 between the first positioning post 5113 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 5112, the structural strength of the connecting part 511 and the positional stability of the first positioning post 5113 are improved, thereby enhancing the performance of the connecting part 511 to a certain extent.

[0082] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the control panel assembly 1000 also includes a connector 200, which is used to connect the control panel 100 to the connection surface 1120 of the main body 1100 of the range hood 2000 (the specific location of the connection surface 1120 can be found in [reference]). Figure 1When the control panel 100 is connected to the main body 1100, the connector 200 is configured to apply a force to the control panel 100 toward the main body 1100, causing the control panel 100 to press against the connecting surface 1120. This allows the control panel 100 to be pressed firmly against the connecting surface 1120 of the main body 1100 by the connector 200. While achieving a proper connection between the control panel 100 and the main body 1100, this also enhances the connection strength between the control panel 100 and the main body 1100, thereby ensuring the stability of the control panel 100 and preventing it from moving back and forth when the user presses the control panel 100 to start the range hood 2000, thus improving the user experience to some extent.

[0083] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 10 , Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, the connector 200 includes multiple connectors. The cooperation of multiple connectors 200 can increase the force applied to the control panel 100 toward the main body 1100, further enabling the control panel 100 to be more firmly connected to the connection surface 1120 of the main body 1100, improving the positional stability of the control panel 100, thereby preventing the control panel 100 from moving back and forth when the user presses the control panel 100 to start the range hood 2000.

[0084] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0085] In specific examples, combined Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, the connector 200 includes two connectors, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction of the range hood 2000. This not only increases the force applied to the control panel 100 towards the main body 1100, but also ensures that the control panel 100 is subjected to uniform force, effectively improving the positional stability of the control panel 100 and preventing the control panel 100 from moving back and forth relative to the main body 1100 under external force.

[0086] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the connector 200 includes a connecting plate 210, a locking member 300, and a pressing part 220. The control panel 100 has a first clearance opening 110. The connecting plate 210 passes through the first clearance opening 110 and is locked to the main body 1100 by the locking member 300. When the control panel 100 is connected to the main body 1100, the pressing part 220 is configured to apply a force towards the main body 1100 to the control panel 100 from the front side. This allows the connector 200 to apply a force towards the main body 1100 to the control panel 100, reducing the difficulty of fitting the connector 200 with the main body 1100 and the control panel 100, ensuring the working performance of the connector 200, and thus enabling the control panel 100 to be more firmly connected to the connecting surface 1120 of the main body 1100.

[0087] In addition, by setting a first clearance opening 110 on the control panel 100, on the one hand, the connecting plate 210 can pass through the control panel 100 and connect to the main body 1100, reducing the difficulty of matching the connecting plate 210 and the main body 1100. On the other hand, the first clearance opening 110 can also provide installation guidance for the connecting plate 210, reducing the installation difficulty of the connecting plate 210 and the control panel 100.

[0088] Meanwhile, the connecting plate 210 is configured to be limited and engaged with the main body 1100 by the locking member 300, so that when the connecting plate 210 passes through the first clearance opening 110, it can effectively engage and connect with the main body 1100. This reduces the difficulty of connecting the connecting plate 210 and the main body 1100, and also helps to ensure the connection strength between the connecting plate 210 and the main body 1100, so that the connecting plate 210 can be stably connected to the main body 1100, thereby preventing the connecting plate 210 from shaking or shifting. This allows the pressing part 220 to always apply a force towards the main body 1100 from the front side of the control panel 100, so that the control panel 100 presses the connecting surface 1120 of the main body 1100, thereby improving the positional stability of the control panel 100.

[0089] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the main body 1100 is provided with a second clearance opening 1110, and the connecting plate 210 is provided with a limiting opening 211. The connecting plate 210 passes through the first clearance opening 110 and the second clearance opening 1110 in sequence, so that at least part of the limiting opening 211 passes through the second clearance opening 1110. The locking member 300 is provided in the limiting opening 211 that passes through the second clearance opening 1110. The locking member 300 is used to restrict the connecting plate 210 from moving out of the second clearance opening 1110. This achieves the purpose of limiting the connecting plate 210 by using the locking member 300, so that the connecting plate 210 can be stably connected to the main body 1100, preventing the connecting plate 210 from shaking or displacing. This allows the pressing part 220 to always apply a force towards the main body 1100 from the front side of the control panel 100.

[0090] By setting a limiting port 211 on the connecting plate 210, it is easier to limit the connecting plate 210 by the locking member 300, thereby enabling the locking member 300 to effectively limit the connecting plate 210 and achieve the purpose of limiting the connecting member 200, ensuring that the control panel 100 is more securely installed on the main body 1100 by the connecting member 200.

[0091] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the locking member 300 includes a first part 310 and a second part 320 disposed opposite to each other. The first end of the second part 320 is connected to the first part 310, and the second end of the second part 320 is spaced apart from the first part 310. The first part 310 is adapted to engage with the main body 1100, and the second part 320 engages with the connecting plate 210. At least a portion of the second end of the second part 320 extends obliquely toward the first part 310. By engaging the first part 310 with the main body 1100 and the second part 320 with the connecting plate 210, the locking member 300 can effectively limit the connecting plate 210, preventing it from moving out of the second clearance opening 1110. This also prevents the pressing part 220 from shifting relative to the control panel 100, allowing the pressing part 220 to effectively apply a force toward the main body 1100 from the front side of the control panel 100, thus ensuring the stability of the control panel 100.

[0092] It is worth noting that in this application, the first end of the second part 320 is connected to the first part 310, and the second end of the second part 320 is spaced apart from the first part 310. While realizing the connection between the first part 310 and the second part 320, it can also ensure that the second part 320 can be displaced relative to the first part 310 under the action of external force. This ensures that the locking member 300 can undergo partial deformation under the action of external force, so that the locking member 300 can be effectively set in the limiting port 211 that passes through the second clearance port 1110, reducing the installation difficulty of the locking member 300 relative to the limiting port 211, thereby reducing the difficulty of limiting the connecting plate 210 by the locking member 300.

[0093] Meanwhile, by setting at least a portion of the second end of the second part 320 to extend obliquely toward the first part 310, the distance between at least a portion of the second end of the second part 320 and the first part 310 is reduced, thereby enabling the locking member 300 to be effectively positioned within the limiting port 211, reducing the installation difficulty of the locking member 300 relative to the limiting port 211, and thus reducing the difficulty of limiting the connecting plate 210 by the locking member 300.

[0094] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the second part 320 has a limiting recess 321 recessed towards the first part 310, and at least a portion of the connecting plate 210 is limited and fitted within the limiting recess 321. This achieves a limiting fit between the connecting plate 210 and the second part 320, preventing the locking member 300 from moving out of the limiting opening 211 after installation, thereby preventing the connecting plate 210 from moving out of the second clearance opening 1110. This achieves the purpose of limiting the connecting plate 210 using the locking member 300 and ensures the limiting effect of the locking member 300, which helps improve the stability of the control panel 100, thus preventing the control panel 100 from moving back and forth when the user presses the control panel 100 to start the range hood 2000.

[0095] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 10 , Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, the pressing part 220 extends in the vertical direction. This increases the area of ​​the pressing part 220, thereby increasing the contact area between the pressing part 220 and the control panel 100. This allows the force applied by the pressing part 220 to the control panel 100 to cover a wider area, making it easier to press the control panel 100 more tightly and improving the stability of the control panel 100.

[0096] Of course, in some other embodiments, the extrusion portion 220 may also extend in the left-right direction.

[0097] In some embodiments, the extrusion part 220 and the connecting plate 210 are formed as a single piece. This means that the extrusion part 220 and the connecting plate 210 are formed by an integral molding process, which helps to ensure the connection strength between the extrusion part 220 and the connecting plate 210, thereby enhancing the structural strength of the connector 200 to a certain extent. After the connecting plate 210 passes through the first clearance opening 110 and connects to the main body 1100, the extrusion part 220 can effectively apply a force towards the main body 1100 from the front side of the control panel 100, ensuring the working performance of the connector 200.

[0098] Of course, in some other embodiments, the extrusion part 220 and the connecting plate 210 may also be formed as separate parts, and the extrusion part 220 and the connecting plate 210 may be connected by means of bonding or welding.

[0099] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the control panel assembly 1000 also includes a positioning element 400, which is disposed on the control panel 100 and positions and cooperates with the main body 1100. The positioning element 400 can reduce the difficulty of connecting the control panel 100 and the main body 1100, and at the same time enhance the connection strength between the control panel 100 and the main body 1100, thereby improving the positional stability of the control panel 100.

[0100] In this specific example, the positioning element 400 is a pentagonal buckle. The pentagonal buckle is used to achieve the positioning and engagement between the control panel 100 and the main body 1100, reducing the difficulty of connecting the control panel 100 and the main body 1100.

[0101] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, the positioning component 400 includes multiple components. Multiple positioning components 400 can make the connection between the control panel 100 and the main body 1100 more stable, reduce the assembly difficulty of the control panel 100 and the main body 1100, make the control panel 100 less likely to shake or loosen relative to the main body 1100, and ensure the stability of the control panel 100.

[0102] In summary, the control panel 100 and the main body 1100 are positioned and engaged by the positioning component 400, and the control panel 100 is also pressed onto the main body 1100 by the connector 200.

[0103] With the above settings, in a specific example, when it is necessary to connect the control panel 100 to the connection surface 1120 of the main body 1100, the positioning member 400 on the control panel 100 can be positioned and engaged with the main body 1100 first. At this time, the first clearance opening 110 on the control panel 100 can be aligned with the second clearance opening 1110 on the main body 1100. Then, the rear end of the connecting plate 210 of the connector 200 is passed through the first clearance opening 110 and the second clearance opening 1110 in sequence, so that at least part of the limiting opening 211 of the connecting plate 210 passes through the second clearance opening 1110, and the pressing part 220 can be released from the control panel 100. The front side of the control panel 100 applies a force toward the main body 1100 to the control panel 100. Finally, the locking member 300 is placed in the limiting port 211 that passes through the second relief port 1110. The locking member 300 restricts the connecting plate 210 and prevents the connecting plate 210 from moving out of the second relief port 1110, so as to ensure the positional stability of the pressing part 220. This allows the control panel 100 to be firmly installed on the main body 1100. When the user presses the control panel 100 to start the range hood 2000, the control panel 100 can be prevented from moving back and forth, which significantly improves the user experience and product competitiveness of the range hood 2000.

[0104] The following description of an embodiment of the present invention, a smoke hood 2000, is based on the accompanying drawings.

[0105] like Figure 1 As shown, a range hood 2000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a main body 1100 and a control panel assembly 1000.

[0106] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main body 1100 has a connecting surface 1120 and a receiving space 1130 located behind the connecting surface 1120. A third clearance opening 1121 is provided on the connecting surface 1120.

[0107] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the control panel assembly 1000 is the control panel assembly 1000 of the aforementioned range hood 2000. The specific structure of the control panel assembly 1000 will not be described in detail here. The control panel assembly 1000 is connected to the connection surface 1120 of the main body 1100. The wireless communication module 600 and the control switch 500 are housed within the receiving space 1130 via the third clearance opening 1121. This can be understood as the third clearance opening 1121 being used to avoid interference between the wireless communication module 600 and the control switch 500, thereby facilitating the connection of the control panel 100 to the main body 1100 and reducing the difficulty of connecting the control panel 100 to the main body 1100.

[0108] As can be seen from the above structure, the range hood 2000 of this utility model embodiment, by adopting the aforementioned control panel component 1000, allows users to choose not to purchase the wireless communication module 600 when their cooktop and range hood 2000 are incompatible, thus saving on purchase costs. Furthermore, if a user purchased the range hood early on and it lacks a cooktop-range hood linkage function, they can later purchase a range hood with cooktop-range hood linkage without needing to replace it with a new one; they only need to install the wireless communication module 600, thus avoiding waste.

[0109] In the description of this utility model, the features defined as "first", "second" and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features, used to distinguish the descriptive features, without any order or importance.

[0110] In some embodiments, the top or side of the range hood 2000 is provided with an assembly port, which is positioned opposite the locking member 300, so as to facilitate the installation and removal of the control panel assembly 1000 through the assembly port.

[0111] Optionally, a removable assembly plate is provided at the assembly port to close the assembly port.

[0112] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0113] Figure 15 The above diagram shows two connectors 200 for illustrative purposes. However, those skilled in the art, after reading the above technical solution, will obviously understand that applying this solution to one, three, four, or more connectors 200 would also fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0114] The working principles of the control panel assembly 1000 and other components of the range hood 2000 according to the embodiments of the present invention, such as the wireless communication module 600, are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
